There were already two lawyers in town, Frank Moffett and Botts Strother. Mr. Moffett played setback and Mr. Stother played bridge.
Judge Snead told a tale reported to him that a man came into town hoping to get a deed drawn up for a piece of property he wanted to purchase. He went to Mr. Stother who was involved in a game of bridge. He said, "I'm not the only lawyer in town.”
Mr. Moffett was involved in a game of setback and told him, "I'm not the only lawyer in town; go see Mr. Strother."
So the man had to go out of town to get a deed drawn up, Judge Snead reported.
Casino was popular in back of the Clerk's Office, Judge Snead said. When he sent his wife Lois to research a title, she would be gone for hours "inveigled into a game of casino," he said.
Judge Snead said he found a town with many "wonderful people to have as neighbors."
"Washington was a great place to live, in 1945, and it is a great place to live now," he added.
